did i ever post the one of them? just playing. it was so cute.
so today was an interesting day. i decided to be productive and get the kids out of the house. (i have realized that's what i don't like about hawaii. i feel the need to do fun things, because we live in hawaii. and it's new. and cool. and awesome!) so, we went to this hotel where you can see (and swim with for a pretty penny) dolphins. and sting rays. and turtles. it was really cool. (i might want to stay there. and swim with the dolphins.)
but... the kids lost the privilege to get jamba juice on the way home. i am trying NOT to raise military brats. i was talking with a friend recently and we were talking about how we can see how easily it happens. daddy is gone. a LOT. and mommy gets a little lazy in discipline. cause it's easier not to follow through. to let little things slide. and all of a sudden, you have this handful of a child! so we determined not to be like that. well, after several chances and attitude corrections, i decided we were losing a privilege. so, we did! (they were warned!!!) but, we had a good talk (especially with the girl) and a good attitude shift the rest of the day.
and wonderfully, i already had a babysitter lined up for a movie date with a friend. it was such a good night! i needed that! before i left, nora looked up at me (as she does SO OFTEN ANYMORE) and thanked me for the meal. she really is precious. and james. with the tackling. but he does so saying, "i love you".
i missed an email date with my cute man tonight. i love him. i love having someone that i miss so much (although i hate missing him...). he's such a good man.
so, off to bed. i kissed each of my kids. several times. and tucked them in. and loved them. i wanted to climb into bed with each of them. or pull them into my bed. (then i realized i wanted sleep more!!!)
